Britain's Most Bizarre House: Suspension Bridge Island House On Market For £1m (PICTURES)

Is This Britain's Most Bizarre Home? (PICTURES)

Britain's only house with a private suspension bridge has been put on the market for £1m.

The three-bedroom 1930s property sits on Towan Island in Newquay, Cornwall and is currently owned by Lord and Lady Long.

To reach their front door the couple have to negotiate a 70-ft-high, 100-ft-long footbridge. Having bought the spectacular home £500,000 in 2001 Viscount Long, 83, and his wife are reportedly looking for somewhere more easily accessible.

According to Metro.co.uk past owners include Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, the inventor of the spark plug.

The house has direct access to the popular Cornish tourist beach below, as well as a large breakfast terrace overlooks the Atlantic.

However there may be another reason why the Lord and Lady wish to be rid of their unique home. In 2003 they threatened to take legal action against young ravers who held late night parties on the beach.

According to the Daily Telegraph they sent a letter sent to the police, tourism officials and their local MP complaining of "another night of hell in Newquay".
